Tronair 02-0234-0111 – 2-Ton Tripod Jack

The Tronair 02-0234-0111 2-Ton Hydraulic Tripod Jack is designed to safely lift light aircraft for maintenance and inspection tasks. It provides a stable, self-contained hydraulic lifting system that supports the aircraft’s weight during wheel, gear, and undercarriage servicing. This model is built for both hangar and ramp use, combining portability with reliability.

Constructed from high-strength steel, the jack features telescoping legs and safety locking mechanisms on both the ram and legs to ensure stability during lifting operations. The heavy-duty 4” wheels allow easy positioning, while a self-contained hydraulic reservoir minimizes maintenance needs. These design elements make the unit robust and long-lasting under demanding aviation environments.

The 2-ton tripod jack arrives fully assembled and ready to use. Before operation, users should remove all packaging materials, verify the fluid level in the reservoir, and inspect the jack for damage or corrosion. A proper pre-use check ensures safe and reliable operation during aircraft lifting procedures.

Operators must never extend the legs unequally or strike them to reposition the jack, as this can cause structural damage to the jack. The ram locking pin must always be engaged once the aircraft is raised, and tail or nose stands should be used for added stability. These precautions are critical to prevent aircraft tilting or jack collapse during servicing.

Tronair recommends a functional load test every 12 months, applying a test load equal to 110% of the rated capacity to verify structural and hydraulic integrity. Operators should also perform quarterly visual inspections for leaks, corrosion, and mechanical wear as part of routine preventative maintenance.

The jack should always be placed on a hard, level surface directly beneath the aircraft’s designated jack pad. The hydraulic ram must remain vertical at all times to ensure even load distribution. Operators should avoid uneven leg extensions or off-center placement, as these can lead to jack instability and equipment damage.

To install the optional 03-5400-0000 leg extension set, technicians must replace each leg individually while ensuring proper orientation – especially for the two-wheeled legs. After installation, the safety chain must be adjusted to match the increased height of the jack. Equal leg extension is required for safe and balanced lifting.

When lowering the aircraft, the ram locking pin must be retracted first, and the pump release valve opened slowly to prevent a sudden descent. The aircraft should remain level as all jacks are lowered simultaneously. Raising the ram slightly before removing the pin makes this process easier and prevents mechanical strain.

Tronair warrants the 02-0234-0111 jack to be free from material and manufacturing defects for a period of one year from the date of shipment. The warranty covers repair or replacement of defective parts but excludes wear components and damage caused by misuse or unauthorized modification. Replacement parts carry a 90-day warranty. All warranty service requires prior authorization and an RMA number.
